From what I have heard that wasn't in the script. The director kept telling the stunt driver to take that corner faster and he finally rolled it. They liked the look of the wreck so they wrote it in. I keep hoping some day the extra footage from Convoy will show up. Apparently the first edit was nearly 3 hours long. I am told the entire town that "Spider Mike" was being held in gets destroyed by the convoy. Imagine budgeting for a destruction scene of an entire town, filming it and the full sequence winding up on the cutting room floor. Official story is all the extra footage was thrown out years ago. I keep hoping someone smuggled out a full edit of it and took it home. Stranger things have happened.

Mack also supplied this cab to the Canadian truck manufacturer Hays. In Canada it was known as a Haymack cab to truck drivers. Usually has a Cummins NTA 370, or NTA 400. That was big power back in the day, but very thirsty. Peterbilt also supplied the Pete 352 cab to Hays. They did originally start off with their own cabs. Hays where a well respected manufacturer of logging trucks on the west coast, as was Pacific. They gave Kenworth a run for their money, as they also where a custom truck builder in respect to building off highway trucks. RIP Hays Clipper.

@Terry Melvin I'm no mechanic, nor have I rebuilt one, but, have owned a trucking company for 25 years and driven even longer. Unless one of you are one, I think we need a Detroit tech to answer the question on backpressure. But, I can read and know how to use the Google machine, which says little or no backpressure is needed on a 2-stroke. And, the reason they are so loud, they are air cooled, no water jackets to quite the motor, and, since it is 2-stroke, no dedicated exhaust cycle, so, pipes need to be VERY free flowing!!! I think they could put 12 exhaust stacks on and that motor would still be loud.

Simply badass! This thing burns diesel fuel and turns it into music! When I was a kid my dad had a late 70s international Transtar that had either a 6v92 or an 8v92, I can't remember which, and it has a 13 speed road ranger. He had a mobile home pulling business and as a kid I went with him and helped out all I could... It was awesome! Anyways, great video! I'm glad the truck was rescued, it's definitely a beast!

"the quad exhaust was an effort to make the truck look cool as hell for the streets of Manhattan".. Fixed it for you! :D I wonder if I'd be allowed any 2 stroke Detroit diesel vehicle to play with in the UK? Especially seeing as I'd want a Jake brake... Sorry for the intrusion, back to playing Truck Simulator! :)

What an awesome piece of machinery! When I was a kid in the 70s, my grandfather owned Bestrom Oil Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan and one time I got to spend the day making fuel oil deliveries in his cabover tanker truck. I don't know what kind it was, but it is still one of my favorite memories as a child. I still have a little boy kind of fascination with love for cabovers.

"Pass everything but the fuel island in that beast" Still, I LOVE IT! I would love to make just one run in that beast, the other drivers at a rest stop or Love's would hate my azz when I pulled in to rest at 3 am. Thank you for waking that beast up from its long sleep. Bonus: its a good looking truck! It cleaned up nicely.
